[The Blue Blur]

With all the buzz around the 50,000+ attendance, the recruits took noticed. I'd like to take this opportunity to applaud those that attended & showed that UK isn't just a basketball school, that are friends would get out to support all sports if the administration & coaches shared the enthusiasm. BRAVO!!! BBN, pat yourself on the back.

Of course in honor of the presence of 4* Conner QB Drew Barker, the crowd got the "We Want Barker!!" chant going early, specifically near the section in which Barker sat comfortably with commit 3* LB Dorian Hendrix, 4* safety Darius West, 3* TE Darryl Long, & 4* RB Mikel Horton. After the chant started, he progressed around shaking hands & encouraging the crowd to get a "We Want Horton!" chant, which the crowd was obliged to do. Horton then started making rounds with the chant going, shaking hands & it's rumored he was telling everyone he was a Cat & that he was going to announce but wanted to do it nationally on ESPN. Take it FWIW. I do know UK's staff is working hard on Horton & want to wrap this up quickly. Whether he makes a decision soon or not, is unknown.

As for Barker, the rumblings are the confidence level is now at 99.9% with him.

If you didn't know, about an hour up the road "THE" Ohio State Buckeyes held their spring game at Paul Brown Stadium. I think that was a ploy, targeted at the Cincinnati recruits that we are recruiting: Kief, Edwards, Horton, Brown & company.

Unfortunately, 4* LaSalle WR Derek Kief opted to stay home & go to the OSU's game. It is being said that he was regretful & shortly after tweeted that he didn't want to do anymore interviews about the spring game experience.

4* Carolina WR Braxton Berrios, decided to stay in the area & take in the South Carolina game, despite Barker's snub. Berrios & Barker seem to have a good relationship. However, Berrios didn't come away from the game committed to the Gamecocks. He told the school's website that he plans to visit UK this summer. UK is still in his top 3.

UK commit 4* WR Thaddeus Snodgrass played the role of Jaleel Hytchye & was all over guys like Barker, Long, West, Edwards, & T.V. Williams. In house recruiting, always help.

2015 stud RB Damien Harris from Madison Southern was in attendance, supporting his letterman jacket. Under that jacket was a UK football shirt & above it was an ear to ear grin when he walked out on the field.

2014 OL John Bezney from Cincinnati, OH was blown away again at UK and he's continuing to say that the Cats are atop his list. He visited Louisville earlier in the day as well and said that game was not as high intensity as what he saw at Kentucky.

Florida offensive lineman Andrew Harrell is hearing a lot from both Florida State and Kentucky, and after yesterday's trip to Lexington those two schools are his favorites. Both FSU and Kentucky plan to evaluate Harrell in the weeks ahead with Peveto handling those duties for the Cats.

[SIZE=2]3* Atlanta ATH Cam Seward [/SIZE]visited Kentucky for the first time yesterday and was especially impressed with the sports science presentation with Korem and the fan support. Derrick Ansley only started recruiting Seward recently so UK has some ground to make up, especially considering he doesn't have an offer yet. His favorites are currently Boston College, the school that's been recruiting him the longest, and Cal, a school he plans to visit over the summer.

[SIZE=2]2[SIZE=2]* OL Cole Hardin from [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]Florence, AL is being recruited by [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]Derrick Ansley & he's likely to go south to visit him this spring and watch him work out in person.[SIZE=2] He attended the spring game yesterday and said he was really surprised at the level of fan support. He's visiting Tennessee and Wake Forest this coming weekend and doesn't seem to have any favorites but it's just a matter of time until he picks up BCS offers.

[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2]Cincinnati, OH (Colerain) ATH Tegray Scales visited both Louisville and Kentucky yesterday with the only difference between "two great football programs," in his mind, being that the UK fans were "just crazy." He does not have any favorites but he really, really likes UK. In a week & a half UK[SIZE=2]'s staff will be visiting Colerain. He's really good f[SIZE=2]riends with Cole[SIZE=2]rain teammate George Brown. [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]

D[SIZE=2].C[SIZE=2]. [SIZE=2]safety Ko[SIZE=2]bie Walker [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]was totally surprised by the fan showing at the spring game. Hasn't been to many other schools but was thoroughly impressed[SIZE=2] & current top five is Kentucky, Miami, Oklahoma State, Boston College, and West Virginia, but Kentucky would be in the top three right now.
Though most schools like Walker as a safety Kentucky is actually recruiting him as a Sam linebacker[/SIZE]

Original words were we would have an announcement tomorrow. Then another report was we would have two commitments by the end of the week. One 4* & one 3*, announcing together either Thursday or Saturday. Now whether it's all three, it's unknown. It looks as if the UK spring game was a success for recruiting. STAY TUNED....
